Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

CH2 provides the basic structure of the hydrocarbon. It will be multiplied by some factor determined by the number of grams / mol. I will use rounded numbers because all periodic tables are slightly different.

Theoretical mass of CH2

1 C = 1 * 12 = 12

2 H= 2 * 1 =  2

Mass CH2 = 14

The multiplier for CH2

56.108 rounded = 56

Multiplier = molar mass (rounded)/Mass CH2

Multiplier = 56/14 = 4

Chemical

(CH2)_4 = C4H8

Answer: C4H8
